| Space shuttle Endeavour is home to stay.
In a rare night
landing last week,
Endeavour glided onto a runway in
Cape Canaveral,
Florida,
USA completing a 16-day mission that included a visit to the
International Space Station (ISS).
All told, space shuttle
Endeavour flew 25 flights since being deployed by NASA in 1992, spending a total of 299 days in space.
Endeavour's next mission will be a stationary one in the
California Science Center.
Even as Endeavour was landing, the space shuttle Atlantis was being
rolled out in
preparation for the last mission of any Space Shuttle, a mission currently scheduled to being on July 8.
